it even changes things as it is with the ability to airplay games through an AppleTV from iOS devices.
How many controllers per iPhone or iPad will the controller API in iOS 7 support? Can one, say, pair four controllers to a single iPad connected to an Apple TV and play a platform fighting game?
Based only on the name, CloudOn looks like it works on the same principle as VNC, RDP, or OnLive. This has two implications: it doesn't work at all on a tablet disconnected from the Internet, such as a tablet being used while riding the bus. And even when you do have Internet access, such as the phone docked for use as a desktop computer that fauxjargon mentioned, it'll eat through your monthly cap. The PDF overview confirms my guess: offline use does not work.
Based on the same PDF overview, something else worries me:
Any edits you make to your files within the CloudOn workspace are automatically saved, so there is no need to take an explicit save action using the File menu. We also do not currently offer a "Save As" feature although that is something we are considering for a future release
Automatic saving means no way to Revert. I have lost data in the past when deletions were automatically saved.
First time you get a public key from an email that you trust
How should one decide to trust a particular e-mail? The sender can spoof the From address.
SSH currently will do a key exchange using the first-time approach without a certification authority
Your SSH connection could be MITM'd from day one and you might not notice it.
no one is going to be able to get pass that barrier without stealing private keys from Adobe, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.
So how should a legitimate software developer get its publisher certificate into your domain's "etc." list?
"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
In context Berra probably meant "Nobody [among my circle of friends] goes there anymore. It's too crowded [with people of other demographics]."
One of my most needed feature is quick multi-tasking ala alt-tab.
My Nexus 7 tablet running Android 4.2 has an on-screen button to the right of "Home" to bring up screenshots of the five most recently used applications, and the list scrolls. A similar menu shows if I pair a ZAGGkeys Flex keyboard, hold the Alt/Option key, and press the Tab key a few times.
>Android, as is, has the reputation of being a resource hog
No it kind of doesn't it runs on on very basic hardware..the first phone it sold on was the HTC dream.
The HTC Dream ran Android 1. Is Android 4 as lean as Android 1?
I'd like the option of writing code for the Android on an Android.
Here's a link to AIDE you: Eclipse clone for Android
Why [Samsung] haven't added an option to try force [multi-window mode] on an app is another question.
Probably because Samsung doesn't want to lose the license to include Google Play Store and the rest of the Gapps. Please see the replies from Google engineers in a Google+ thread linked from Andy Dodd's comment.
In what way is Android on a laptop any preferable to ChromeOS?
For running applications that are ported to Android but not ported to Chrome Web Store. Or is there an automated way to make such ports by now?
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
